Challenging

Great time at Panther Trail. Nice variety of hole designs - some pretty tricky if you have not played the course previously. Course was in good shape for March.

Grrreat!!!!

Amazing course loved everything about this place and the whole atmosphere. The only think I was not happy about was the Pace of place from two groups ahead of me as I was playing by myself and they did not let me pass, other than that everything was great wonderful scenery and challenging but fun course staff was friendly and professional, kart beverage lady was great and so was the lady at the snack bar she said she was from Chicago. I will definitely be back to play this course.

Exceptional Back 9

Course plays surprisingly difficult for a resort course. A handful of straight forward par 4s and par 3’s but overall a great variety of holes that gets better as the round goes along with the closing 7 holes being exceptional. Lightly bunkered but small undulating greens and a number of forced caries over water create a risk reward course that is playable for high handicappers but still interesting for a scratch player. Although not kept in the same condition, IMO it’s actually a much better layout than the TPC course in the same area. Practice area is great as well. Looking forward to coming back.

A fun, interesting layout

Greens were in great shape. Weather's been soggy so the course was, as you would expect, sis a bit oggy as well. Love the layout, can't just overpower every hole off the tee. Accuracy more valuable than distance.

Would play there again.

Overall the course was in great condition. It was nice to play a course where the bunkers are well taken care of, if you're going to be in Amis nice to be able to play out of them. I did notice some damage and fungus on the 18th green and one other one. All the fungus and damage on number 18 we're in the back into the right did not really affect play issues on the other green or a little more prevalent. In all, I would have to say that these issues did not detractfrom overall playability or the experience. I would recommend playing here.

Fully met expectations (c'mon, it's The Woodlands!)

Beautiful layout, nicely conditioned, very uncrowded, good price, what's not to like? Note that carts do not have any GPS capability - bring your own if you don't want to hunt for the sprinkler head yardages. Thanks for allowing non-resort golfers to play.

Panther magic

Needed a mowing but quite understood post all that rain that we had in last couple of days. The course is short, tough and well designed. If you stay at the resort it is a plus. You can’t go wrong with this course!

Great Experience

This was a great course and in really good shape. The course is not long, but it is a challenge off the tee. If you hit it well off the tee, you will have a chance to score. Range balls were included with the round though it is not specifically mentioned.

Great course except price quoted by Golf Now was not the price I had to pay at course. The course charged a bit more. Update your rates.

Wet, but very enjoyable

Two days of hard rain soften the course tremendously, but playing it was very enjoyable. I would love to play this course again with dry and normal conditions .

Great Course, Great Price, Great Time!!

The Panther Course at The Golf Trails of The Woodlands is a MUST play. My buddies and I came out for an early afternoon round, and we had a blast. The staff was very friendly when we walked in, the course was in great shape for fall golf, and the beverage cart girls took great care of us all day. Afternoon pace was good. We played in 4 hours and 10 minutes. It was a pretty busy day since the weather had just turned back to nice, but the marshals did a great job maintaining pace, and they were very friendly as well. We never had to wait on tee boxes, the pace just stayed steady. The greens were rolling really nice, and fairways and tee boxes are alive and well. I will definitely be coming back, and I would be ok with having to have paid more. But... I will take the deal where I can find them ;)
